Slides from Labsgiving group meeting on software development best practices

It’s become a tradition in the lab to have a Labsgiving group meeting the week of Thanksgiving! This year, I was on the group meeting rotation, and we were lucky enough to have our wonderful collaborators from the Andrea Volkamer lab at the Charité in Berlin join as well!

I covered some topics on why we practice open science and open source software, and our current best practices for doing so. Best practices are ever evolving, and we are always learning ways to better practice our craft and share our work with the world. In that spirit, we have tried to capture much of our current practices in a GitHub repo to make it easier to gather feedback and continually refine our practices: [software development best practices]

I put together a short talk covering some of the highlights of our best practices. In case it’s useful, you can find the PDF slides here: [PDF]

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
